Quite right. Not in toto, of course, there are many circumstances where paper is more practical, cheaper(!) or can't yet be replaced, and it may very well take decades, but the process is well underway.
Do you have a preference for e-book? Your use?
In general, I make use of both print and electronic delivery. If you are asking for specific device(s), the one in particular that currently strikes my fancy should be coming to the market soon, as it shows the potential and capabilities of such devices today : http://www.epizenter.net/comment.php?comment.news.503 ..... Unlike the current e-books that is available now in the market, the Creative's MediaBook seem to be an all-in-one multimedia tablet. Besides reading your e-books and newspaper on the device, you will also [be] able to Facebook and Twitter on the go, watch videos and view photos on the large touchscreen. .....
Thank you! I’m not quite ready for E-print, except for the current internet sources.
I am though, past the need for the daily ‘ink on my hands’ copy. It’s come to a re-adjustment of the time when I get my news (carrying a paper and reading it here/there or at home has gone by for me... sad, for a previous adolescent paper deliverer — and the lack of same for upcoming generations?).
The ‘net has an advantage in it’s ability to provide (more factual) news which is both timely and ‘fact checked’ (such as this site).
I hope that the principle can be applied to school textbooks (a bit off topic, but perhaps justified?)
